Jeb Bush is resolutely #NeverTrump but his son, George P. Bush, no longer is.

George P. Bush, the Texas land commissioner, is breaking with his father, a former Donald Trump Republican primary rival, to back the GOP nominee. George P. Bush's move comes after a nasty Republican primary battle in which Trump repeatedly mocked Jeb Bush, a former Florida governor, as "low energy," among other insults.

The Texas Tribune reported Sunday that at a Saturday gathering of Texas Republican activists Bush said it was time to unite behind Trump in his fall campaign against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

"From Team Bush, it's a bitter pill to swallow, but you know what? You get back up and you help the man that won, and you make sure that we stop Hillary Clinton," Bush said, according to video made by an audience member.

I remember catching Was, Not Was at the Cabaret Metro in the winter of 1988 (?), but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be citing them in a post about GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump in 2016.

Pee must not see much of a way forward after Unca W trashed the place, and then Daddy JEB got trashed by Trump. Nifty loyalty there, sonny-boy. Grifter to the bone. True Exemplar of the House Of Shrub.

Wonder if this bothers Granny Bar's beautiful mind or not.

PS Apparently the Oaf Keepers are calling for John McCain to be executed for treason due to his "confessions" whilst tortured by the Viet Cong. Those are Trump's main fanboyz. And PTSD Stockholm Syndrone McCain continues to endorse Trump.

I see this as a desperate gamble by P that after Trump badly loses in Nov. that there will still be a Republican Party that cares is he was loyal to the candidate. He is desperate to have his turn at the Grift.

Just remember that in Texas you can't have more than five of those dildos or they bust you for intending to distribute. Five or less and you're only considered a hobbyist. That was according to Molly Ivins, who hasn't been around for a while, so it's possible they've changed it since then.
